Only stayed for one night but cannot fault this accommodation and more importantly the service Aileen and Paul provide. They were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The view from the property is stunning and an ideal location being a short walk from the centre. The room was lovely, clean and breakfast was superb in the morning looking... More

I only spent 2 nights in Fort William, and booked just a few nights ahead. I was fortunate to get into Braeside House. Paul and Aileen were most friendly and accommodating - they even picked me up & dropped me off at the bus & train stations to save me the walk up the hill! The house is well located... More

We are so fortunate to be in such a gorgeous area and are always happy to hear our guests lovely stories of their experience of the Highlands.

My husband and I have just returned from Fort William after we climbed Ben Nevis. We were made extremely welcome and I was stunned by the gorgeous view of Loch Linnhe from our room. It's such a warm, homely place to stay and Paul and Aileen were the best hosts you could ask for. The breakfast in the conservatory was... More

There's service that you just can't buy. I recently stayed at this B&B and everything was superb. The rooms themselves were very comfortable. Paul & Aileen were great hosts - breakfast most enjoyable & nothing was any problem. good location only 5 minutes away from town centre and all this for a great price. Definately great value for money. More

My husband Andy and I stayed for 5 nights in March at short notice. We were made very welcome and Aileen and Paul did everything in their power to make our stay comfortable. They did a great job. It was very clean, good location, great breakfast, especially the eggs benedict. The view from our room was also breathtaking. Highly recommended,... More

Tom, Myself, my sister Bizzy & her dog Ballie and friend Dawn stayed for 1 night on our last leg of the West Highland Way. After arriving a bit bedraggled and receiving a warm welcome, we could not have been made more welcome by Paul and Aileen. You could not meet a more genuine couple and we knew we would... More

We stayed for 2 nights at Braeside House just after Easter- 9-10 April. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Aileen and Paul. As other people have said on here, we have never felt so welcome as we did at Braeside House. On the day we did our walk up Ben Nevis, Aileen made us two flasks of hot coffee to... More

Stayed here for 2 nights with my boyfriend in Febuary with the intention of going snowboarding but with the bad weather that wasn't possible. Fortunately Paul and Aileen are very knowledgable about the local area and leant us walking books, boots and maps to keep us busy. The house is a five minute walk up the hill from the town... More
